I just retired one.  A Sony that did 6.1 so you could play DTS encoded
DVD content.  Which it did flawlessly.... what it wouldn't do was play
DolbyDigital from a BluRay due to the increased bitrate over DVD and
Digital TV.  Thus retired.  But I got about a decade out of it.

But it would create the center rear itself if you asked it to, odd you
have a one that can't considering how rare 6.1 content is.  Pretty much
limited to DTS DVDs.
